Seattle, Wash May 12 1892 The Honorable the Board of Police Commission of Seattle Gentlemen In view of the theft missdemeanors and trespasses constantly occuring and likely to occur in the City Park; also the probable inability of your then Board to detail such necessary police force, as to afford a proper and continued surveillance.

All to conform agreeably to you rules and regulations and instructions.

Very Respectfully Yours W E Burgess chairman
